Unbelievable mission. And head shaking when you realize today it would be done with a missile or a B-2 unloading several 2000lb JDAMS at 3am.

The missions they used to only be able to accomplish with people are amazing.

When I was a kid I had a book titled The Book of Adventure that had this and many other stories in it.

Don’t know whatever happened to that book.

A fascinating and heroic attack. Very sad that it was to a large extent suicidal. Today we would use remotely-operated or autonomous weapons.

Jeremy Clarkson did a documentary on this raid. You can view it on YouTube.
